Our first ever visit to Newton St Loe: such a pretty village and a beautiful walk around Bath Spa University and its lakes.
We saw a swan and its cygnets, three grey herons and a little egret on the lake and a deer and a hare on the edges. As we walked close to the university there were loads of jackdaws and crows and a flock of a dozen long-tailed tits. On the way back we enjoyed watching the swallows and house martins collecting flies over the fields.

Thanks Wayne. We were too late back to send to Avon Birds but I should have tweeted and included you. I thought it was beautiful there. One of the herons knocked the little egret off the post near the boat house. When I have another chance to go I will tweet you to see if you are free to guide. 🙏🏻 Always follow you too. All the best.
Martin
